Reports unnecessary or overly complicated boolean expressions.
<p>Such expressions include <code>&&</code>-ing with <code>true</code>,
<code>||</code>-ing with <code>false</code>,
  equality comparison with a boolean literal, or negation of a boolean literal. Such expressions can be simplified.</p>
<p>Example:
<pre><code>
  <b>boolean</b> a = !(x && <b>false</b>);
  <b>boolean</b> b = <b>false</b> || x;
  <b>boolean</b> c = x != <b>true</b>;
</code></pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>
  <b>boolean</b> a = <b>true</b>;
  <b>boolean</b> b = x;
  <b>boolean</b> c = !x;
</code></pre>

Use the <b>Ignore named constants in determining pointless expressions </b> option to ignore named constants when determining if an expression is pointless.
